Some ideas for the future
*************************

   Here are some things that might happen in the future:

   * HTML support.

   * The output will be cleaned up.  For instance, only variables which
     are actually used will appear in the generated `Makefile.in'.

   * There will be support for automatically recoding a distribution.
     The intent is to allow a maintainer to use whatever character set
     is most convenient locally, but for all distributions to be
     Unicode or ISO 10646 with the UTF-8 encoding.

   * Rewrite in Guile.  This won't happen in the near future, but it
     will eventually happen.
